Alpinestars SP-3 Leather Gloves - Black / Bright Red / White Good quality. Great fit
Alpinestars Austral Gore-Tex Boots - Black Dark Grey Very comfortable boots, could wear them all day. Would recommend trying before buying as im usually a size 8 and had to get the 9.5. Not used in the rain but did use them at 4 degrees and my feet were nice and warm.
Alpinestars Ageless Web Belt - Black / Black This is a really poor quality belt for the price. The buckle feels like it has been stamped out of tin foil.
Alpinestars Nucleon Flex Pro Chest Protector Insert - Anthracite It wasn't obvious that the Alpinestars GP Force Airflow Jacket accepts these chest protectors. The pockets are well hidden!
Access is via the inside zip at the bottom of the jacket, this allows you to reach up inside and feel your way to the chest protector pockets.
The size L chest protectors fit the jacket in size 42.
They're slim, so add minimal bulk to the jacket overall, and seem like good value for the extra protection they should provide. Hopefully I'll never do a real-world test of their protective capabilities.
Alpinestars SMX-6 V3 Drystar Boots - Black / Red My old SMX's were split after well over 10 years of mainly summer use so time to treat myself with a new pair. These SMX6 V3 drystars looked similar and fit even better than the last pair. Difficult to get on/off to start with but very comfy when on and could keep them on all day no problem. Like most boots, a little time wearing them in will soften them and become perfect, comfy and solid boot. They come up just about true to size (maybe go up half a size). I am a nine and half and the 45 (10) was fine. Not tested in the rain yet but suspect will not be a problem. Overall very happy and would recommend to anyone.
Alpinestars S Max Drystar Mixed Gloves - Black / Anthracite Great glove, good fit waterproof. 4 stars as the touch screen fingers don’t work that well. Bit hit and miss.
Alpinestars Radon Drystar Boots - Black Kept my feet dry in very heavy rain storms. Does what it says on the tin. Only concern is a lack of real grip on the sole tread. So moved to an adventure type boot.
